At Inside Higher Ed, some comparative data on average faculty pay. Not surprising:
Full-time, non-tenure-track faculty members earn approximately 26 percent less per hour than do tenure-track assistant professors.
Part-time, non-tenure-track faculty members earn approximately 64 percent less per hour from their institutions than do tenure track assistant professors.
...
The median, full-time, tenure-track faculty member is paid $8,424 per section taught, compared to $5,435 for full-time, non-tenure-track, and $2,174 for part-time, non-tenure-track.
Insurance and other benefits, or rather the lack of them, only increase the discrepancy. Ouch.
